Car cranks but doesn't start I tried already Pressure on the gas is good and check my spark is good. Check my chef sensory sensors. Check my camshaft sensors good. Check my if I have fuel, I do but I still will not start. What can it be?

How does it sound when cranking over? The reason I ask is because if the timing chain has jumped the engine will not run. Please go over this video:

Can you please upload a short video of the engine cranking over so I can see if the engine is hurt or not? In the meantime, you can do a compression test to see if the engine is okay as well.

See the head gasket just got replaced the car ran ok for about a day or two then it started to lose power when acceleration and even at times I would be at a light and I would press the gas and car wouldn't go until it did but very slowly so I thought it would be a sensor or something i. Clean those did a compression test cheeked for gas in tank and also gas cap was on good. Also when I spray starting fluid it won't start I thought it was fuel but everything checks out. So, I'm not sure what it is.
